Today's Daily Lesson comes from Hebrews chapter 1 verse 14:
"Are not all angels spirits in the divine service, sent to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?"
It's cold and snowy here in North Texas and there was a child across the street lying down making snow angels in the driveway. With three more inches of snow now covering the ground the angel is no longer visible; but I know it was there.
Angels are everywhere in the Bible. They come to those in need. They appear to those with good news. They help fight our battles for us in the end.
On Sunday an angel will appear in the Lectionary reading. Angels, actually. They come to attend Jesus in the wilderness, to minister to him during the sojourn.
We may not can see them; but they have come to attend us too. They have shown up with food, or food for thought, or a shield from harm. They've come with a warm cup of coffee and good word that made all the difference.
No longer visible, we would swear it was there just for a time -- in the most needed time.
And we trust it will come again right when we need . . .
